Why You Need A Measure Appointment
Installing new laminate countertops requires professional expertise to ensure precise measurements for height, depth and length
Backsplashes and cutaways for sinks must also be measured precisely before your countertop is fabricated
Our installers also need to be informed in advance of any kitchen upgrades you may require such as a new sink/cooktop, backsplash, or kitchen island
*Please note that a standard measurement fee will apply for this service.
